When I've recognised this happening, I'll skip 5-10 kHz up the band, 
putting myself ahead of the "competition." It seems to work well, and it 
beats getting beat out on practically every call.

Contesting with low power, with just about every QSO is S & P, this 
happens more often than you'd think.

If you're bothered by the skipped bandwidth, you can always program the 
start of the skip into the other VFO or a memory and go back to it.
